It is a nice motherboard for its price. I purchased it for around Rs 5900 INR from local market.It is having 2 DDR4 memory sockets which is just fine for normal usage. I am using Cosair vengence 8gb ddr4 ram with it.It is also having a PCI graphics port.All the USB ports are 3.0 which is awesome.All over the performance of the mobo is amazing and justifies the price.

4.0 out of 5 starsSeems to work well but location of PCIe x1 slots not ideal

Everything appears to work really well and be of high quality. Seems relatively future proof with USB-C and M.2 NVMe memory slots built in. The only complaint I have are the two PCIe x1 slots are useless if you're planning on installing a large PCIe x16 graphics card that is extra thick (like my ASUS GTX 1060 Dual). Installing that extra thick and somewhat long graphics card also blocked a couple SATA ports so effectively only 4 of the 6 SATA ports are usable.

It's difficult to choose your desired motherboard solely based on reviews. There always seems to be 10-15% of reviewers giving 1 star for DOA's or dead memory slots and I always wonder if these things are due to user error or not.

It seems appropriate to give 5 stars for the opposite experience: a board that works on the first power up and survives a 48hr burn-in period. This is one of those boards. I have not tested with a PCIe video card since the on-chip Intel HD610 graphics drive my 3 monitors at 1080p and rather quickly. I chose this board because it has the 3 video outputs: VGA, DVI-d and HDMI and I need 3. I have not tested the M.2 slots or optane. EDIT: I now have installed a 275gb M.2 drive from Crucial and it works no problem, not sure it's any faster than the Samsung SSD but it runs about 10 degrees F cooler given it's close proximity to the CPU fan. here is the link for the M.2:

I'm not a gamer, so my board is sparse. It was easy to install the CPU/fan, memory, power supply connections, and sata cables of which 2 were included. The cap over the the CPU socket protecting the pins was in place when I opened the box and I can assure you there's no way that cap could ever come loose or fall off during shipping, just not possible. I always run with the case open so I did not test/use the I/O shield.

I have tested the USB 2 and 3 ports (not the USB-C), the sound, and 2 of the sata ports, all is well so far and the pulsing red on the board does not bother me, it's somewhat comforting in that it shows a working board, although be aware it continues as long as the power supply is on, whether the machine is in sleep mode or shut down, this can be changed in the BIOS setup.

memory that I can verify works on this board is here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BIWLFGQ/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I have 2 of those installed and no problem.

The g4560 processor that I can verify works with it is here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCE8T92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is a dual core but hardware monitors and Win10 device manager will show 4, due to the threading.

The BIOS setup is very easy to use although I don't need too much of it since I gave up overclocking anything years ago.I've had good experiences with Asus boards as well as Gigabyte, BioStar and MSI.

The board runs cool as does the processor, maybe 10-15deg F above ambient.

Edit: added a picture of the HDMI port since someone said it doesn't have one, yes. it. does.

3.0 out of 5 starsDO NOT BUY without first calling ASUS tech support for a QVL

Had to request a refund (not replacement) for one of the three boards - no POST.

Really too bad because again, ASUS support is top shelf above all other MOBO vendors. I hate having to call every week though.

1 - star for ASUS tech support.1 - star for the board POSTing. Always a good thing.1 - star because I was too inept/lazy to dig around for a QVL before buying this board.

STAY AWAY if you do not want to first call ASUS tech support to request a copy of the Qualified Vendor List showing everything that has been confirmed working with this board. You can't find it because the QVL link on their product page redirects to the ASUS home page. And their search feature is worse than useless.

I purchased an M.2 and RAM that worked with past ASUS mobo builds that did not register with this board. Three days after getting the QVL from ASUS tech support, I received another set of parts. And then Amazon added to my frustrations by shipping 2 x 256GB SSD's and 1 x 128GB SSD (I ordered 3 x 256GB SSD's) and shipping the CPU order almost a week later even though the checkout page showed "2-day."

Sadly the Amazon issues are becoming a pattern, which will most likely lead to me canceling my membership. If I have to constantly wait a week longer for items and receive the wrong items, it's not worth the annual fee.
